Should have kept it stock !

Stock is boring.

It still has the stock looks and character, but I'd bet it's a damn sight more fun to drive now.

yep still looks the part for sure and its all subaru still with the mods done, yep and Stock is so boaring for sure !!!

Rob should stop cleaning his car and dump a S2000 motor in one to see how much fun it can be

Great build!

thank you

so i got one of my set of STi TE37 VOLK sand blasted ready to get painted a colour that i have not picked yet, i'm thinking a nice glossy jet black but will see soon.

also some oem subaru parts have come in, new XT6 front control arms. i have to problem's that i need fixing with these. 1 is the bushing end rubs in my subframe arm, 2 i dont have camber in the front.

ill be adding something like these to the arms so i gain in both aspects

also i have ordered another rear diff support mount, which i will be adding a new bushing in the middle to help with the flexing in the rear R180 diff. if your driving behind my car, as i shift in a gear ! you can see the diff flex, which all most looks like its going to fall out lol.

this car is insane. I had no idea you could mount the modern EJ engines in the older subarus. Gonna have to keep my eyes out for one of these.

yep there getting really hard to find, but there is still people in south USA that have them USMB is a fourm all for old subarus.

so i found another set of JDM Subaru FHI 4 pot 2 pot, i had them sand blasted and now powder coated red. i got new oem seals to rebuild them & some GODSPEED Brakes stainless steel pistons to rebuild them with, also need to paint the letter's on the calipers white and find a sticker for the rear. ill most likely sell the other gray set that are on the leone or use them for the next build that's going on all ready

also got some nice STi Magnesium Valve Rocker Cover Set coming in, very excited for these all ways wanted them.

also its all most time to order my new turbo the S300SX FMW so i can make my goal of 400whp on a dyno dynamics dyno.

so this is a rear 1986 Subaru control arm, when adding wide wheels with low offsets like Subaru loves it can rub on the rear arm on this old car.

here you can see how much room i have to play if I put on a 17x7.5JJ ET53 stock subaru wheels that can fit Brembo brakes, also the front is not like this its normal Subaru style up front on this car so any wheel is ok

so what have I come up with ! simple easy is flip the arm around to the other side ! looks like the little Leone can put the rubber down to the ground now, 225/45/17 and i could use STi Brembo brakes now for the extra stopping power.

Hey !!!!! why stop there ???? Lol... lets pull out a STi 22B BBS wheel and see if we can add the monster wheels on the Leone so 235/40/17 17x8.5JJ ET48 even fits !! guess its time to show some people how its done on the track this year !

now i am really excited to pull the car out and see if this all works out perfect.

well spring is near they say, but lets get real its still going to snow like today lol, so in the mail today some new toys have come in.

5x100 16x7 et46 Volk GramLights 57s.... good for maybe 225/50/16 I hope I can make it fit with out rubbing.

ST132594S000 JDM STi Magnesium valve covers.
